NATO Tomb Raider
A better-quality version of the Tomb Raider. Unlike the cheaper kit version, this unit has an all-metal case, a metal operating button, and a more positive mechanism. Lock-up of the blade is very good for an inexpensive knife. The blade is only sharpened on one edge, but it would be possible to sharpen the other edge and still use it safely.
MFG: Unknown
MODEL: "NATO" Tomb Raider
TYPE: Automatic
ACTION: Front-opening
MECHANISM: Coil spring
CLOSED LENGTH: 4.5"
BLADE LENGTH: 3.75"
PROS: Strong and positive opening, blade is held very rigidly when locked and extended, all-metal construction.
CONS: Blade doesn't hold an edge very well.
VALUE: A bargain for the quality of the operating mechanism.
OVERALL OPINION: A far superior version of the Tomb Raider at a very reasonable price.
